So..I just finished filling & decorating a bunch of baby blue chinese takeout containers as Easter baskets. You know, with raffia inside & some collages on the outside. Couldn't help but feel they're a little generic and am raring to make a couple more in a style I've never done before.

So, naturally, I went googling for other easter basket replacements.

Tips for getting Vibrant coloured eggs:

1. Wait until boiled eggs are cool before dyeing

2. Boil your water before adding the dye to it

3. To each bowl add 1/2 tsp Vinegar, then add 3/4 cup of the boiled water

4. Add up to 1/2 tsp of Dye depending on how bright you want your eggs
